Begonias Partly documented

Begonia beryllae

A Bornean Begonia described by Ridley. Measured records are from Sabah's montane forest, mostly around 1250–1650 m. It needs a cool, constantly humid, shaded setting like the Mount Kinabalu foothills. Little is published about it, so conditions are built from the measured climate and typical montane Bornean begonias.
